off the wall!

Written by

Check this out! What a clever clever thing. Sherwood Forlee has a diabolical mind as you'll see if you spend a little time trying to navigate his website. He designed this book – 160 pages, 80 spreads of blank New York City walls, ready for your personal expression, without threat of jail time. You can visit HERE to test out the Walls Notebook – so fun!! Order from Amazon for $11.53 HERE. I think I need two.

Imagine the great time you'll have altering this – with spray paint, with cut-outs, …… I know, awesome! *faints*

very cool, thank you for not keeping this to yourself! You have been doing a lot of fainting lately, maybe you should go see a doctor. I hear they have specialists for that sort of thing in Helsinki.

What I like best? You’re descriptive adjectives *faints* … makes me laugh out loud every time… it was back to work today for me, day one. And it was really, really a rough one. Don’t let the fact that I’m back to work stop you from calling sister….if I’m not in a meeting, I’ll answer the phone.
Love ya…

I love the ‘faints’!
This is supreme yum. It gives me food for thought, however. Journal thought… A little 3D action… hmmm.
off to munch a while.

I´ve bought a similar book in the early 80s about painting plain house walls – thanks for reminding me of that one! If you´re interested, it´s here for example:

Hi Michelle,
I found you through Somerset Apprentice & tried your Gesso Resist project. I LOVE it & I love your blog. Your work is absolutely gorgeous! I just bought this notebook from Amazon a couple of days ago. It is going to be such fun! I posted about your Gesso Resist method on my blog this morning. I will be back!

I am way late too but they were oh so happy to sell me a few of these books! OMG thank you Michelle! I need to come here more often. I’m writing myself a note right now. You are giving me so many ideas but I am not the fainting kind. Catherine
